Having lost my full time job I was glad to see I could get a PS book from the guru for free while I taught continuing ed classes and did some freelance photography. I started scanning thru the Table of Contents and picked areas of interest to check my own level of competence.

Then I decided to start on page one and take in the entire book. Dealing with Bridge was great but then someone threw a trump card and I ended up with a Raw Deal. The book skipped the Next Step, from page 96 to page 129. I leafed through pages to see if the missing pages (2, 16-page signatures) were out of order, but still in the book. To no avail, here is how my pages numbers are arranged: Beginning to page 96, 129-144, 113-to end. I don’t have pages 97-112 but have two copies of pages 129-144, but have two copies of pages 129-144:-).

Can you help or should I get in touch with the publisher?

Thanks, chad

Hey Scott, I was just wondering about something, OK. Can I get this book if I am not an educator, instructor, teacher, or professor? I would really want to have this as part of my collection. Will you sometime down the road make it available to people like me? I graduated from ITT Technical Institute of Youngstown, OH and thought if I got one of my previous instructors to get it for, if that would be cool? Have you ever taught at an ITT Tech campus or did any special events at one? I would really like to know. Please e-mail me back if you have.

Hi Scott,
I love your books – thanks for all the help they provide. There is one thing that occasionally bothers me which I find in several of your books that I wanted to mention. That’s PPI. I know you understand it, but wanted to suggest readers check out this site

http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html.

Basically the point is that PPI only matters when you PRINT. It doesn’t make any difference when viewing images on your computer screen. The computer displays pixels based on your display settings/capabilities. PPI is a setting that tells printer device how many pixels to print per inch. Your display does not read that field so it can’t affect the image when viewed, only when printed. So in some of your texts it may be confusing to people when you talk about a 72dpi image being “low resolution”. I can have a 21megapixel high resolution image set at 72dpi and it will look fine onscreen. I know you know this but I think when novice readers see 72 dpi=low resolution may get confused.

Pixels – determines size displayed on screen. DPI or PPI determines how many pixels a printer will print per inch. There’s no reason to change the PPI of an image that will only be viewed online – that field will never be used. It’s akin to a printer or page size setting saved in a Word document that will never be printed- it doesn’t matter. However, my guess is that you’re right and I’m wrong, given your level of expertise, but thought I’d throw it out there.

Hello Lars, you just need to select Norway from the drop-down menu when you get to the “Rep Locator” page. Holler with any questions!

I teach an adult education class in my local high school on Photoshop Elements. Can I use this kit to teach Elements? If not, do you plan to release a kit that would be appropriate for that and how would I obtain it?

Thanks

I was told it wasn’t available for Europe. By my Scandinavian rep. I’m asking them to check it again though.

Hi Dave, It takes a bit more searching and an extra minute or two to go through the process, but a high school teacher such as yourself can also get a copy! : ) Go to the page Scott highlights, click the “online rep locator” link on the right. When you get to the that next page, look to the right and you’ll see a link for high school/AP teachers. Click that, and you’ll land on the page for K-12. Look for the orange “find it” circle on the right and under that you’ll see a “find your rep” drop-down menu. You’re there! Holler with any questions.

It is free for all qualified instructors. You can choose your country from the drop-down menu as you’re making your request.

Happy Birthday Scott!

WOW! And you got a Les Paul guitar too…………………………………….

I have a suggestion for the “Educator Files” which are available for your new Photoshop CS4 for Digital Photographers(I have two spiral editions).

I would certainly like the additional files and would be willing to pay $20 for them.

Why don’t you make the files available for a $20 contribution to the Springs of Hope, Kenya?

Make it a little mini-fundraiser. I’m sure that Peachpit willl support it.

You are a very blessed man. You have a great family, and you get to work with all those wonderful creative crazy people.

Are you ever going to share a little bit(mp3 whatever) of your band on your blog?

Thanks again for being a terrific teacher. Keep the teaching and wackiness coming.
